G4(D2) Coilovers installed, Help need advice on spring rates page 2 Options

OK I finally got my coilovers, installed them yesterday, and took pics today.

I finally got my G4 coilovers yesterday, after a really long wait (a bunch of things like Chinese New Year stuffed things up). G4 are exactly the same as the D2 brand units, except that they are blue, not purple.

I was planning to take more pics of the install but forgot and then was too dirty to want to touch my camera :\







So she got a much needed clean today and I got to take pics of the final result. She's looking sweet! Everything seems OK but I'll take it for an alignment and get them to make sure that everything is set up properly. Oh you can also see my brake calipers that I painted yelloow at Christmas time
The tyres are new also. 215/45/r17 Kumho Ecsta Sevens. They could be a little grippier but for the price they are good.









Enjoy!

One last question... How low are coilovers adjusted in those pics, because I would like to get some eventually that can be adjusted up a bit so the car isnt so low. Plus that drop looks about the right height, gotta take those speed bumps slow though

Ummm they can only be raised probably another inch. Maybe 1.5".

I tried on some speed bumps today and although none were especially big I had fine clearance on all of them. The ride is definitely a lot bumpier but it handles really great and looks fantastic - a fair trade off in my opinion

Oh and yes an alignment is definitely in the plans ASAP.
